A little over two years ago I was catching up on my Netflix movie list and I received Whip It in the mail. I’d heard of roller derby before, but this movie put a whole new spin on it. Plus I ❤ me some Ellen Page (of Juno fame.) I was so intrigued!

I spent hours Googling roller derby and checking to see if there were any local teams. There were! I asked The Hubs what he thought of the idea of me as a roller derby girl were. He smiled and kind of laughed, and said, “You’d be good. What about softball?”

Hmmm. Was that a compliment or a diversion?

The idea and fascination remained just a lovely, awesome dream. We were busy living life, getting adjusted to a new place, first ministry appointment, and our rapidly growing 9 month old.

My name is Heather and I am a beloved child of God. I'm 30, a pastor's wife, mom, and aspiring novelist, and journeying to find out the rest. My blog is a glimpse into this journey and the insight I gain along the way; some laughter to ease the bumps and bruises, grace to cover my many mistakes, and love to offer hope and healing from a heart that has been broken and restored again and again.
